Been a while since I have posted in here but managed to make 3 posts today. Last one being the need for decompression from burning man. If you are finding yourself in this position, I might be able to help.

What is decompression? I did not experience this my first year but did my second. After leaving BRC and burning man, I found myself wanting to talk with people about my experiences. I found myself planning and thinking about next year and I was not even home yet. I tried to talk to my co-workers but they were not there and really did not understand my experiences. I had this fun and excitement to share but no one to share it with. I called friends I was there with and tried talking to them on the phone but works over a phone was not enough.

Why decompression? All of the things I just mentioned is why decompression. Decompression events allow you to hang around fellow burners and just talk. You can share stories about what you saw, they saw, or wished you had done. Can also talk about ideas for the next year.

My plan is to return home for a large but private decompression event. Private in that we are not advertising it as an official event but still open to anyone who wishes to attend.

Your decompression plans? I recommend going to the official site, Burningman.com Decompression. There they list a lot of decompression events as they come up and are reported in. Your next option is to get involved with local burners in your area. BurningMan.com has a whole section of events happening year round. Other options is to find blogs, such as this one, and just read. Here is a more suited one at Burningman.com that might explain it a little better.

Our testing program reduces on-site start up time and allows both OEMs and end users to adhere to tight schedules. The customer is always invited to witness test firings.

• All equipment manufactured by S&B is tested and/or fired prior to shipment
• Equipment is subjected to an 81-point final inspection and checklist before test fire
• Where feasible, each unit is set for design flow rates, temperatures, ect.
• All safety circuits are individually tested, and the burner is lit and fired
• Results of all tests are recorded along with all factory limit settings, flow rates and control settings
• Gas test firing up to 30 MM BTU/hr
• Fuel oil/ natural gas/ propane testing
• Capable of duplicating overseas power with in-house generator

Portable DVD burners can be used for duplicating or copying a DVD, and burn video files to a DVD format. They work without the use of a laptop or a computer, they need only a USB port and simple installation for working. If you have more than one computer, a portable / external DVD burner is a good choice. Following a plug-and-play method of operation, the burner can be easily switched from one computer to another. They are ideal for bothHome or office.

For those of you that are not one of the fortunate 48,000 or so radical and self-reliant Burning Man participants- called ”Burners” -now hanging out and trying to survive the sweltering heat in Black Rock City in Nevada with few worldly possessions, at least you can relax in the comfort of your home and see a techno live streaming view of the self-expressive, artistic event that runs through September 7 at:  http://www.ustream. tv/channel/ burningman- live    Not only can you view the event live, but you can socially chat online at the same time.   My how technology is all pervasive, not matter where you go in life.

Last time Las Vegas Backstage Access took a peek, we saw bicyclers galore peddling on the dusty playa– and then an ambulance raced across the screen in the foreground.  What fun!

[On March 25, we wrote an article on Burning Man.]

I’ve had uncanny bad luck with cellphones for the past 3-4 months. I had a new phone, a nice Nokia with a camera and an MP3 player. Cracked the screen. Went back to my Razr from 2006. Cracked the screen on that.

Now, I’m still into my contract for at least a year, so replacing the phone seemed like it was going to be a pain in the wallet. IE no cheap upgrade on the horizon.

My plan was simple. Go to the T-Mobile store, explain my situation, and ask for the absolute cheapest phone in the store. if not the freest phone in the store.

I had no expectations that this was going to result in anything but me spending 75 bucks on some shitty phone that I wasn’t going to like.

And then something magical happened. The sales rep told me something that wasn’t in his best interest. He told me to go buy a prepaid/disposable phone . A ‘burner’ in The Wire parlance.

Winning idea. I went to target and picked up a Nokia 1661. $18.

Prepaid cellphones take regular SIM cards.  So if you are ever in a similar pinch,  just grab a disposable cellphone and drop your old SIM in.

Weekly project progress updates and open communication keeps you informed!

When the Blanchester, Ohio plant of Consolidated Ceramics Products Incorportated (CCPI) decided to update their curing oven, they looked to Stelter & Brinck. According to Mike Gasaway, Director of Engineering, “Using S&B for the oven project was a no brainer; Stelter & Brinck is always the first company I think of when I need a new oven!”  Gasaway has “been dealing with Stelter & Brinck for 20 years”. He explains, “[S&B] has provided the highest quality work, year after year!”

CCPI has purchased numerous process heat systems from Stelter & Brinck over the years, but this project was unique. S&B had done everything from design to start-up for CCPI in the past. But this time, due to budget limitations and a surplus of on-site labor, CCPI asked S&B to design, manufacture the highly-technical parts, and provide instructions so they could assemble and install the oven themselves. Gasaway stated that “Stelter & Brinck’s engineers were not only readily available when I had questions, but the engineering support during this project was, as always absolutely incredible!” He goes onto say, “S&B’s engineering is top-notch!”

As a whole, Gasaway admits, “this project was out of the ordinary, as it required more collaboration between CCPI and Stelter & Brinck than usual. However, because of S&B’s open communication, I knew we’d form a great team- and we did!” Not only that, but according to Gasaway, “since the installation of S&B’s equipment, we’ve had a 65% utility reduction of the old oven; we have the numbers recorded to prove it!” He goes on, “I am very happy with S&B’s work on this project; the entire process couldn’t have gone better! Thanks to the S&B crew for a great job, once again!”

I just returned from the third annual Whiteaker Block Party; I’m glowing from the happiness of the crowd, and my legs are sore from dancing nonstop for hours.  You can check-out my Flickr media by clicking here.

No, I’m not yankin your chain. A few days ago I was on the computer in the living room and I began to hear a tapping sound. I went into the kitchen and saw some black peices of unknown substance in the floor in front of the stove. I went to look a little closer and saw from the crack at the top of the stove beneath the burners that more black substance was being pushed out. I realized it was a mouse. I swept it up and didn’t think much more about it.

The next morning there was much more burned guk and at the very bottom of the stove were all sorts of treasures the mouse obviously wasn’t in need of. There was a pencil, 3 crayons, some beads, a small peice of cardboard, and many dust bunnies.

Today there is more burned guk and another pencil with a flavoring of a pinch of dust bunnies.

I thought about getting rid of the little guy…then I realized he/she is cleaning places I can’t reach without lugging the whole stove out of its comfortable spot. So who am I to complain? I won’t look a gift mouse in the mouth.

Here is a link to an article that was featured in a newsletter published by the Paper, Film & Foil Converter Magazine.

In this article, a first-class laminator, Bendtox, Inc. explains why they are so successful. This article mentions some of the equipment found in their facility. Among their equipment is an oxidizer, built by Stelter & Brinck.  Below is what was said in this article about Stelter & Brinck’s oxidizer.

“Bondtex also utilizes an oxidizer for emission control. It was manufactured by Stelter & Brink, and Hightower reports that it incinerates 99% of the emissions, leaving very little to be released into the atmosphere.”
